Oh, I know that not everything was an object up until Python 2.4 (or 
maybe 2.3), what I'm wondering about is whether the first few versions 
of Python had *any* object-oriented stuff.

It seems odd to me that if they were designing Python to be 
object-oriented from day 1, that they'd use such an odd syntax for the 
OO stuff (the self parameter, the double-underscore things, etc).
